Apple USB Power Adapter

OK product, inaccurate description.

Written by JL from Brooklyn

The best thing I can say about it is that it is nice and compact. However the cable provided with it is much too short. Also, would it kill Apple to mention the power specs and requirements of the adapter somewhere on the product page!? I'd go a step further and say it's extremely irresponsible not to. If you look closely at the tiny print on the face of the unit, you'll see that the adapter will work with an input voltage of 100-240 volts. This means you do NOT have to buy a voltage converter to use the charger in foreign countries although you may need an adapter to fit the type of electrical socket used.

It works....

Written by JL from Magnolia

the new design is beautiful. it would be cooler if the prongs folded up like previous power adapters, but it is small and compact non-the-less. i give it 3 stars due to the fact that this is $30. that is a little bit over priced, especially since i will have to buy another one to keep in my car so i don't ever forget a charger. i am in need of a charger so badly due to the fact apple's new phone wont charge in my car as for a lot of other charging devices.

AMAZING

Just got mine and it works perfectly. Smaller is better.

And it comes with a new USB/Computer to iPod/iPhone cable though my old cable (iPod 4th Video) worked just fine.

Here are the specs since Apple is still trying to be a minimalist museum rather than a website:

Designed by Apple in California
Model Number A1265 Made in China
Input: 100-240V ~ 50/60 Hz 10A
Output 5V- 1A
UL tested

What all this means is you CAN use it in Europe, Japan, anywhere as long as you get the right outlet adapter !

This device replaces the old iPod wall outlet charger that was bulkier and had the folding prongs attachment. This is so small I didn't recognize it. This is all you need to charge up your iPod or iPhone with the USB cable. Amazing!

Yes, a little expensive, but leaps and bounds ahead of the clunky boxes that came with the original iPods. Seriously though, why rake us over the coals like this? Not cool.

AMAZING EXAMPLE OF APPLE TECHNOLOGICAL SUPERIORITY

Written by PL from Lodi

22-Jan-2009

for those of you who do not understand
converting 120V AC to USB power levels (approx 3-5V DC) is not an easy feat.

Doing this in an 1" x 1" x 1" cube that generates NO HEAT is by far the single most impressive piece of technology apple sells.

Digital switched power converters are expensive because they are complicated.
30$ is a small price to pay for such an efficient device

I payed 30 bucks to find that the cable wont even reach my desk! It is much to short but
if apple could make a longer cable that wold be great! But overall, i like it i have power when i need it.

Apple USB Power Adapter

Good compact but...

Written by LH from Maumelle

20-May-2009

I love this compact little adapter and the ONLY thing that prevents me from giving it 5-stars is that the specification text for usage is not visible. The printing is grey on white and very small (it has to be small, I understand that since the whole adapter is small); however I have searched the internet (since the Iphone didn't come with ANY manual or specifications) to see if I can use this little adapter in Europe with 240 volts without an extra powerconverter and I am still not sure.

amazing

Written by CD from palo alto

14-Jul-2008

this is probably the best product i have ever used. it fits in my wall socket perfectly and my usb iphone charging cable fits in the usb power adapter perfectly. my favorite part is that when i connect the iphone to the usb charging cable, the usb charging cable to the usb power adapter and the power adapter into the wall, it charges my iphone, AMAZING! then when im tired of that, i can unplug my usb connection from my usb power adapter and into my computer flawlessly, and now my iphone starts to sync, or i could just not plug it into the usb power adapter and plug it into the computer instead, and it charges and syncs at the same time. the only reason i cant give this 5 stars is because when i swing the usb power adapter too fast and pretend its a ball and chain, the usb power adapter flys off and usualy hits sommething of value. like my cat.

I am very pleased with this product it is very compact and is perfect if you travel a lot. Everyone keeps complaining about how expensive it is, but you get an extra usb cord plus it is pretty small

FINALLY!!!

Written by SP from Forest Hills

It's about time someone made the USB power adapter as small as possible, which I'm happy to say was Apple. Just Perfect for both travel and home use. a little cheaper would be nice but even still, anyone looking to purchase a new/another USB Power Adapter should definitely give this one a shot.

Has the same output (1 Amp) as my larger charger I bought. Comes with the $20 cable too! If you admire Apple's style, you'll love this too.

Perfect Product, Jacked-Up Price

Written by DD from Chicago

Works perfectly. Tiny device. Good aesthetic. Way to expensive. This thing should really be about $15. Come on Apple! Please lower the price. I lost mine and don't have the money to sink into a new one.

This is a really great product, it not only can charge my itouch but it can also charge my digital camera! I also some times use it to connect other things that can be charged with a usb cable, and when I don't feel like turning on my computer I use the usb power adapter to connect my usb powered speakers, and then connect it to my ipod.

blew out 2 IPODS with charger

Written by MG from Indialantic

All i know is that as soon as I charged my ipod classic with the wall charger it will no longer take a charge and boot up. I sent back my ipod and got a replacement and it did the same thing with the replacement after using charger. Conclusion. Will not use this charger again.

Yes, it works in Europe

Written by DS from Virginia Beach

If you read the fine print on the booklet with the adapter it explicitly states that it's for "110-240 VAC and 50-60hz" That covers anything you'll run across except in the third world maybe. All you need is the plug adapter for the country you happen to be in. Good little product.
